Could they be anymore blatant in their ongoing display of racist fuckery?

It is ironic that the right wing freaks that have taken us down the rabbit hole think they can tell off the right wing freak that runs the US for taking them down a different rabbit hole....

21st Century and White Supremacists are running the USA. Fucking ridiculous
John Kelly Dons His Pointy White Hood Again
Fast forward to the distant future of less than one year later and Kelly has not only failed to lessen the chaos of the Trump administration, he's also come out of the closet as a white supremacist, smearing his own "honorable" reputation by spitting on the foundational concept of America as a nation of immigrants.
Here's his latest foray into ignorance:
Let me step back and tell you that the vast majority of the people that move illegally into United States are not bad people. Theyre not criminals. Theyre not MS-13. But theyre also not people that would easily assimilate into the United States, into our modern society. Theyre overwhelmingly rural people. In the countries they come from, fourth, fifth, sixth-grade educations are kind of the norm. They dont speak English; obviously thats a big thing. They dont integrate well; they dont have skills.
"Modern society"? Does Kelly think immigrants will be confused by indoor plumbing and color television? Donald Trump is still amazed by the White House's phone system, his staff couldn't initially figure out how to turn on the fucking lights, and none of them apparently know how to use a spellchecker so perhaps Kelly should not cast aspersions on the "rubes" from other countries while being surrounded by a team of them himself.
But the incompetence of the Trump administration aside, Kelly seems to have forgotten that it wasn't all that long ago that his own people, the Irish immigrants of the 1800s, were once considered "overwhelmingly rural" and unwanted because they were "also not people that would easily assimilate into the United States, into our modern society." In fact, the Irish were considered slightly better than animals:

Right wing brown nosing extraordinaire!
Nigel Farage to start petition to secure Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize
Right-wing British politician Nigel Farage has said he will start a petition to have Donald Trump nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, saying the award would lose legitimacy in the eyes of millions if the US president had a successful North Korean summit and subsequently did not receive it.
Mr Trump is among those who believes he deserves becoming a recipient of the Norwegian-based prize and has claimed such an opinion is widely shared.

Gavin McInnes: 'Wearing A MAGA Hat Is Like Being Openly Gay In 1950'
Here in New York City, wearing a MAGA hat is like being openly gay in 1950, and Im not exaggerating, McInnes said on Tuesdays episode of his CRTV program. You will get your ass beat, you will not last at a bar in Harlemwe try it all the time and get booted out. Theres many bars that say, You cannot openly be here. If you go into a bar wearing a MAGA hat, people start getting uncomfortable. The bartender will ask you to leave politely and people will yell at you on the street and spit on you.
Youre treating us like pedophiles, he added.

Heh - imagine that
JK Rowling has found the perfect way to troll Trump and his huge signature
The link that Rowling shared to Handwriting Graphology explains that the negative aspects of a large signature are:
Large writing means that we are before an arrogant person, conceited, haughty, who needs to exhibit compliments and recognitions, tyrant tendencies, exhibitionist and phoney personality that may become megalomaniac with lack of a critical sense.

School 'forces LGBT+ students to read the bible' as punishment
A school in rural Oregon has come under intense criticism after it reportedly forced an LGBT+ student to read the Bible because of their sexuality.
The actions of the school, which resides in The North Bend School District, was first reported by The Coos Bay World and then later picked up by The Oregonian.
The accusations came from a letter issued in March to Bill Yester, the school superintendent for the district, which claimed that 'discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual orientation' had occurred.
--------
Yet the letter issued to Bill Yester said the evidence of discrimination against LGBT+ students was 'substantial.'
Student 3 had little choice but to comply with the building administrators established form of punishment.
There is substantial evidence to support the allegation that the district subjected LGBT+ students to separate or different rules of behaviour, sanctions, or other treatment.
